Blog Predictions 2007 – An Internet Meme

Every week, yet another journalist or online marketer predicts the Death of Blogging. Ironicially, sometimes these ‘predictions’ are made by bloggers.

Far from dying, there’s a resurgence in blogging, judging by the flow of private equity and growth of blog networks.

Just look at the nearly 1,200 submissions for the Round 5 submissions for the 9rules Blog Network or check the stats at the Blog Network List. Darren Rowse’s b5media blog network got a nice chunk of capital funding too.

2007 will see a further evolution of blogging as we know it.

Perhaps ‘blogging’ (a truncation of weblog) may evolve as a term to fully encompass what it represents.

Here’re 4 trends I see this year.

Offline to Online Content

Even without Amazon and Google’s efforts to digitize content for the Internet, a multitude of content publishers (more…)

ProBlogger Writing Project Entries Reloaded Round 1

After Darren Rowse’s recently concluded Reviews and Predictions Writing Project, when things have slowed down a little, I’ve finally a chance to look at the other entries.

As Darren mentioned, whether anything you write actually gets read, depends on your title. Whether it’s a website, a blog entry, the name of a blog, the title of an ebook, everything depends on:

  • Keywords in the Title: Examples include monetary amounts: “$100,000”, names of prominent individuals “Britney Spears”, “Matt Cutts”, “Shoemoney”, “Yanik Silver”
  • Eyecatching Phrases: “Blog in Your Sleep”, “Autopilot Income”, “Floods of Traffic”
  • Scarcity: “Christmas Promotion”, “Limited Edition”, “Next 5 Readers only”

I’m looking through the titles and there’s a very obvious contrast between a generic title like “Looking Back at 2006” and “My Predictions for 2007” which are (more…)

Kickstart Your Blogging Business and Make Big Money: 7 Reality Checks

[This post is my entry for Darren Rowse’s ProBlogger Group Writing Project – Reviews and Predictions]

2006 was an interesting time for me as I plunged into Internet Marketing.

Although I didn’t have a clear idea in the beginning, it was very clear that the path of least resistance would be to go with blogging.

In the course of the last 5 months, I’ve had a series of interesting experiences and the questions I’ve dealt with appear to be common with all new bloggers, whether the questions originate from a blog, a forum, a blog network or a social networking site.

Here’s 2006 in retrospective in a FAQ format with money making tips and 7 Reality Checks for bloggers and internet marketers.
Blogging is Evil

  • Blogging Reality Check 1: Making Money from Blogging is Evil

I’m not sure of the intent of this often heard objection.

I guess some might have ‘pure/purist intentions’ and expect that blogging is some form of ‘cathartic release’ for heavy/philosophical/ponderous thinking.

I see blogging as a form of personal journalism. And (more…)

What is…the Answer to Anything and Everything?

I was doing research for an upcoming post and came across Darren Rowse’s Who Is Darren Rowse?

And found this cool “What is” tool.

IT consultant Arttu Ylärakkola’s Solvalou.com site scrapes content off the search engine and provides a snapshot about a certain topic.

What Is

I did a search for my buddy Rachit Dayal and came up with the following:

  • Rachit dayal is a Singapore-based Entrepreneur who founded Rachit Dayal Communications in January 2005 – An Internet Marketing Strategy Consulting Firm for.
  • Rachit dayal is a Singapore based Entrepreneur who graduated from NUS in 2005.
  • Rachit dayal is a Singapore-based Internet Marketing Specialist.

As you can tell, Rachit is a very exciting guy. (NOT…).

On the other hand, a search for “George Bush” shows up the intriguing…

Prepare Yourself for Massive Traffic and Prizes from ProBlogger

ProBloggerFresh off the press, I got news that Darren Rowse, AKA ProBlogger (or Gold Blogger as Yanik Silver likes to call him) is about to launch the next Writing Project, and it could be as early as next week.

I’d been asking him about the Writing Project when we were talking in October (as he was msging from a beach cafe while on vacation) (see: Talking with Darren Rowse – ProBlogger.net).

The project is finally here and participating in the last project brought a massive traffic spike to this blog, plus a number of the visitors have gone on to be regular readers too.

Besides the traffic, Darren’s also doing a random drawing of winners (more…)

Traffic Generation Strategies Simplified

I got an enquiry from Adam Wong, who has a successful blog at adam-wong.com.

Adam’s known for helping my buddy, millionaire entrepreneur Adam Khoo, launch his Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires product.

Take a look at this:

Adam Wong

Adam Wong clocked $9,000 in 2 weeks through his internet marketing efforts. Although I believe it’s a revenue figure, the net profit would be close to that because it’s Adam Khoo’s digital product at: Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires.

I was talking to Adam Wong the other night and he was asking about traffic generation strategies. (more…)
